My stay at the hotel was amazing! The rooms were huge and spotless with a sea view and a large veranda perfect for relaxation. However, the en-suite and shower sizes varied. The service was friendly but lacked professionalism and first aid resources. The location was excellent for beach access but challenging to find seating. The dining options were good quality but somewhat repetitive. Overall, a great experience with some minor drawbacks.
